Vandalism Pyacticed Upon the
WashiBgtOm Monument.

The report which Col. Casey, the
engineer In charge Of the Washington
monument, makes public today shows
repeated acts OF vandalism on the
part Of visitors who are admitted to
the interior OF the structure. The
monument contains upward OF loo
memorial stones. There Ia scarcely q
country on the face Of the globe which
did not contribute ore or more oil
these stones. The people Of China,
Japan, Egypt, Greece, Abyssinia and
even Turkey showed their inter.
est in the work by sending
to the United s ates deliberately
carved stones 10 be fitted into the
structure ss the building progressed.
Col. Casey's report states that these
stones have relatively suffeved the
most. The raised bronze letters on
the Swiss stone, for example, have
nearly all been Clipped off, and the
silver ornamentstion OF the Nevada
stone have been gouged. Further
than this the walls have been defaced
by rude caricatures and obscene in.
scIiptions whicE 1t lie difficult to erase.
In short, the monument Is in fair
way to be ruined II some steps are not
taken to prevent the defscing OF the
stones. The joint COMMITTEES finally
decided close the monument to Wis
itors after June LIST until such time as
Congress may make suitable arrange
ments for Its protection. At the re-
quest of Mr.. De Leon, the manager OF
the national drill, the monument will
be accessible to visitors until after
that event.

Must Have assports.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The secretary
of state has received dispatch from Fred
erick Raine. United States consul general
at Berlin, setting forth the annoyanceS to
which United States citizens visiting Eu-
rope and especially Germany subject them
selves by neglecting 10 secure passports be-
fore leaving this country. Berlin, Frank
fort, Hamburg, Leipsig and other cities of
the German empire are subjected to a So
called small state of siege" and every
stranger or foreigner visiting these places is
required to identify himself by producing
passport. Ladies are not excepted. In
mediately after the arrival of a stranger the
police authorities demand the pro-
duction of 4 passport, and if he
is not provided with one, he
must either procure one at the nearest
United States legation. or submit to annoy
ances, if not a peremptory order TO leave.
No stranger can enter the GOminiOns OF the
Russian empire without passport. while
in several places of Austria, Italy. etc.,
similar prOhibtory measures are enforced
Americans visiting the continent of Europe
will do we'll to provide themselves with
passports Students desiring to enter Ger
man universities can be matriculated only
upon producing passports. The latter are
retained by the authorities of the universe
ties, and ticket Of protection or university
membership issued. After such member
ship ceases the passport IS returned to its
owner.

fEuso,s Artistic Eye.

The following anecdote of Victor Hugo
is interesting as showing the many side
ness of his genius, writes Paris CORE
pOndent. Victor Hugo's talent and fond
ness for art are famous; his drawing of
castle of the Middle Ages, which he made
for the frontispiece of Quatrevingt treize,
for instance. has been widely reproduced.
1t is no. so well known, however, that on
one occasion the illustrious poet and novel
lSt figured as a scene painter. This was
when Lucrece Borgia was being mounted.
The manager had given instructions to pro-
duce a mise en- scene such as had never be-
fore been attempted on the French stage.
The scene in the second act represents, it
will be remembered, a room in the ducal
place of Ferrara, furnished in the sumptu-
Gus style of the fifteenth century. BY some
accident or other. when the day of repre-
sentation came around this scene was still
unfinished. Victor Hugo as was his Gus
tom. Went behind the scenes shortly before
the curtain drew up to see that all was
right. What was his disgust to perceive
that by foolish oversight the secret door
by which Lucrece Borgia lets Genaro escape
was as large and conspicuous as if it had
been the the main entrance! Victor Hugo
asks for the scene painter. He is nowhere
to be found. The curtain would be drawn
up in moment or two. "QuickI" cries
Hugo, "a brush and paint pot;" and with
the same hand that wrote the play he set
to work to repaint the scene. This he did
so quickly and cleverly that no one who
was not in the secret would ever have
guessed that the scene had been in the least
retouched. 1t is useful to be man of uni
versal knowledge sometimes.
